India's Strategic Error

I won't be harsh on India. I realize that Congress (the Party in power in India) is a leftist coalition, and leftists are destined to make this type of mistakes. But a mistake it is, and a griveous one: India says Iran, US should talk nuclear issue over

NEW DELHI - India said on Friday it wanted differences between Iran and the United States on Tehran's nuclear activities to be resolved through talks, as New Delhi walks a diplomatic tightrope in its ties with both nations.

India has traditionally had strong ties with Islamic Iran and is looking to Tehran to partially offset India's huge appetite for energy. It is planning an ambitious $7-8 billion pipeline project with Iran that would run through Pakistan.

But India's relations with Washington have also expanded on the strategic, economic and high-technology levels after New Delhi was quick to back the US war on terror after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"India is against proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. We have said Iran, just as any other country, should live to its commitments and obligations (on nuclear activities)," Indian Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran told a news conference.

"These matters should be resolved through discussions and not through confrontation."

Ah, India, you love Iran because it worries Pakistan. As is often told, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Sure Iran loves you now. But will they love you in the morning?
